Help building a GUI

I've been working on some scripts that will automate the installation of several programs that we use. On a lot of these installations the setup of the software is PC or user specific. Therefore I need a way to ask for information during the install to allow for these different setups. Here is an example:

We have a piece of software called iSeries Client Access that we use to connect to our AS/400 server. The differences in the installs are if you are a Teller you get a regular session and a print session. Otherwise you get session1 and session2. Also you have to specify a workstation ID which we use the first part of the computer name along with S1 or S2.

What I'm trying to accomplish is taking the workstation name that is entered and input that into a window Title: "Configure PC5250" Control ID: 1015 then add S1 on to the end of the workstation name. After that it will carry out a few more steps then needs to repeat the same process but this time with and S2 on the end of the workstation name. Unless the checkbox was checked then it would enter what is in the printer name box and use that instead.

If someone could get me going in the right direction with this I'd greatly appreciate it.
